Living in peace is the desire individual, group and corporate. No one can live well in a state of war. Everyone is in search of peace and also in search of world peace.

"Peace in the world begins with me if I've got love, sure am happy" Video ... beautiful, beautiful music and the lyrics are true. We all need to live in peace but that is only if we learn to conquer it within ourselves.

Peace is generally defined by the dictionary as a state of calm and tranquility, the absence of disturbance or agitation. It also refers to the absence of violence or war. In this sense, peace between nations and within them, the goal is assumed by many organizations, especially the UN.

Already on a personal level, peace is a state of mind, generally free of all negative feelings. Thus, it is desired by every person for himself and possibly for others. Peace is represented worldwide by a dove or white flag.

As we walk sometimes indifferent, sometimes acting out of pure individualism, how to find peace in a troubled world, unsettled by the incredible speed of constant change. People are more immediate, more consumerist and more individualistic. What to do with so many "ists"? How about a little detach from materialism systems and act as human beings created in the image and likeness of God?

Often, we believe it is easier to look outside our windows and blame other people, the society we live in, the government we have, for all times of unrest that we experience. Forgetting that the people, society and government are consequences, consequences for ourselves, our actions, words and postures. We are constantly interacting with each other and all our actions have a greater or lesser influence on those around us.

The world peace that both want to get ourselves in how we live with our family, our neighbor, our co-worker with people who are with us on the bus or the car next to us in traffic . If you strive to put a bit of brotherhood, understanding, education and love, especially love in our accomplishments, we are effectively contributing to the establishment of the kingdom that Jesus promised. Thus, consequently peace!
